GeeXboX

I had exactly the same problem, thanks for your post, m_jay. Another problem: when i saw 2 or 3 minutes of video, the image freezes in the screen. ¿ It could be because i'm using an old SD card with only 128Mb, formated in fat 32?

whaaat? We can use fat32? I was not aware of that....

a complete reformat of the card may or may not help, but worth a try.


If you are using HBC, try TP hack. If no freeze with TP hack, i suggest you remove and reinstall HBC. If still freeze, you may have to re-init your wii (the option in WII management menu) and reinstall HBC. Remember to backup EVERYTHING if you do this.

I'm sure you already know about this but incase you didnt wii linux has a major update hopefully u can integrate it soon

yes i knew, and there was a reply message by me in that linked post.


it will be after the gc-linux team release their sources before anything could be done, just as mentioned in the readme.

oh ok then i wasn't aware that they had not yet released the sources I would assume they will do it in july when they release the other information about it I await when this happens I'm sure that both GeeXboX and other things will greatly benefit

Nice job! Looking forward to the next release.

Switching off WiiConnect24 solved the freezing problem for me.

Anyone else notice a slight green tinge on videos? (PAL, 60Hz, composite)

Awesome work, farter!

But I just want to know how to get Chinese subtitles(gb2312) displayed.

Here is what I have done:

1. Copy gkai00mp.ttf to \GEEXBOX\usr\share\fonts\
Copy gb2312.so and gb_2312-80.cct to \GEEXBOX\usr\share\iconv\

2. modify \GEEXBOX\etc\lang.conf
DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=zh_CN
DEFAULT_FONT=gkai00mp.ttf

3. modify \GEEXBOX\etc\subfont
gb2312

But still it doesn't work.

What should I do, do I need to compile the source file?

awesome s/w works well on my PAL Wii

when will a better wii suport version be released... maybe one that supports changing the sd card could be a good stepping stone for the next release

use this:

when can we see the patches ?

I reformat my sd card to fat16 and it doen't work again. I'm sure I didn't use the quick fromat option. Dunno why...

BTW, I'm so hunger for the next release with wiimote support!!!

Yes, I have the same problem just like you. It didn't work on FAT16 with my NTSC-J Wii.

With FAT16, after GeekBox loading, I get a black screen, it can display the charactor I type, kind of like a wordpad

So sorry to bother you again, farter. I use the new .cct and .so you give me, and I can now get the menu to display Chinese, which means .cct/.so works well.

But .srt subtitle still refuses to show me Chinese. I double checked .srt file, and it definitely encode with gb2312, and I also changed \GEEXBOX\etc\subfont to cp936, gb2312 and gbk, but found no use. Is that some kind of my RP problem, or what?

I also notice movie become jerky while displaying subtitle.


A little update:
I try to use Debug mode, and manually type Mplayer comannd. I use bury.avi and bury.chs.avi for testing.

I try:
#mplayer /mnt/frontsd/bury.avi -sub /mnt/frontsd/bury.chs.srt

#mplayer /mnt/frontsd/bury.avi -sub /mnt/frontsd/bury.chs.srt -subcp cp936

#mplayer /mnt/frontsd/bury.avi -sub /mnt/frontsd/bury.chs.srt -subcp gb2312

#mplayer /mnt/frontsd/bury.avi -sub /mnt/frontsd/bury.chs.srt -subcp gb2312 -unicode

and some other combinations like that, but only English character can display correctly.

But I found the font style can be displayed correctly, cause I changed font to youyuan.ttf and then English characters are displayed that way.

Finally, I figure out the problem. Sub file (.srt) needs to be convert to UTF-8. Now I made a Simplified Chinese Mod. Thank you farter!
